    Strange file in Windows Temp cannot deleat.
    « on: March 18, 2010, 12:40:51 AM »
    I have a file in Win Temp Folder called
                      EAPTOLS.QAV
    subfolder   PEOUBJW.IVU
    file              value.shl
    I cannot remove this file because windows says its in use. I cannot find what is using this file.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    you can use LockHunter to see what program is using the file, as well as force it to delete.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

        It appears that windows explorer is using the value.shl file, don't know why have scanned it with my internet security programme (Trend Micro) and shows no problem with the file. Will leave it alone and see what happens.
        Here's hoping, if any problems will use Lockhunter to delete.
        Thanks again BC Programmer.
